Default RCA Cables: Best way to route them from HU to AMPs

Can people let me know how they routed their rca cables? I want to get an idea of which route works the best for s2000s. driver/passenger side? will center console work?
What length everyone is using? I know not everyone mounts their amps at the same location, but I want to get an idea of how long the rca cables need to be. Most are in the trunk.


Please post the location of your amp, length of rca cables, route .

Also, has anyone tried to mount a small amp under the passenger seat???


thanks

Mine are under the kickplate on the doorsill but I think I'm going to reroute them under the carpeting.

Passenger or Drivers side? How long are your rca cables? Seems like 3 meters or 9' is the best size to get.

I'm going to be running 2 amps, so I need a 4 channel rca cable.

I ran them down the driver's side but the passenger side is better due to less electrical interference. I think you will need atleast 12'. I used 15'.

you ran down the driver side back to the spare tire? 15' seems like a lot. I did a search a couple guys were using 9' cables.

Not sure if the passenger side is a good side to run the rcas since most ppl run the power cable on that side. Its not good to run power + rcas close to each other cuz of interferrence.

Pass side door sill, I can't remember how long my RCA's are now, but going around the trunk, to the back bumper, under the tools, then pass the tools to go above it to the tool cover to the amp, there's a good 1 foot extra I coil up. Sorry I can't remember what length I used, I want to say 16' but perhaps that was my power run, honestly can't remember anymore

You can stick to searching and I'll stick to making my threads. If you don't like it, don't reply. Simple as that. You're the one wasting your time reading and replying...rofl
